Klaus Kinski was by all accounts a Very Very Difficult Person
For Herzog to have extracted Art out of him would have taken years off the lives of both men
Aguirre, Fitzcarraldo, Nosferatu aren't "easy watching" in the same way Mahler isn't "easy listening"; but the films remain strangely compelling in a hellish sort of wayKe Hea Kia Toa:
"Be Brave that you may truly Live"
Follow Ups:
..I said 60 minutes into the film... a documentary about the difficult relationship between Klaus Kinski and Werner Herzog, who directed several of his fims.And yet something that got developed over that 60 minutes, started suddenly loosing its shape and sharpness, began to blend into background.
The last trirty minutes or so represented a repetition of already said things, and added little (not zero, just little) to the portrait.
A very interesting documentary for anyone who loves serious movies. Something that will make you thing whether perfect harmony can only be built on fundamental similarity, and that Herzog is not all that different in his obsession from Kinski, and that while trying to remain, and portray himself, as a sane individual, he actually just keeps sliding deeper and deeper into the void, where his notebooks, written microscopically, finally tell us the story of his own madness.
Strongly recommended, even if the later part is definitely tedious.
I won´t...My doctor is a friend of Herzog ( he was even with him on location ) and what he did tell me, well boy, that is enough for my curiosity...Much more than enough....
